This is the second desk I purchased, as my second daughter out grew her kiddie desk. First desk is a couple years old and holding up well. It just survived 5 mos of storage and a move (was slight moving damage, but still functional). The most wear is seen on the top edge by the chair, but has been a good desk. I wanted a light maple color to match the girls existing furniture and this matched well. My intention for this is temporary, as I figured they could use it through HS years (and maybe to college?) and then pitch or use in basement or for a sewing or craft table. It is particle / MDF style so if you are careful, it will last and is strong. Assembly went OK. It has L and R sides and top and bottom pieces, but the directions include helpful pictures (and shading), so as long as you pay attention it goes well.

I had a missing part which is important for whole desk assembly, I immediately contact company representative and she told me she will go ahead send a part but I am still waiting which makes me annoyed.

A well designed, nice looking desk.
The box was substantially heavier than expected.
After assembling the unit, I could verify that not one piece
of this desk is made of solid wood and usually, the smaller the wood particles, the more glue
is used and the heavier the end result.
The unit is well designed and you may want to plan for 1-2hrs to assemble it, including labeling the pieces
before starting the assembly.
These units are not made to be moved much and should be taken apart before a significant move is initiated.

I am very pleased with this desk. The instructions don't actually contain any written words for what to do, you just have to pay attention to the pictures. I put this together by myself in about 2 hours. The front sliding drawer was a bit of a pain to try and slide on and it doesn't close all the way. Other than that, it's very sturdy and looks nice. I would suggest having 2 people to help with this as it's kind of heavy to carry(75lbs).

This is my best purchase yet. When you see the bag of nuts, screws, washers don't freak out! Don't rush just take your time. Check all your parts before you get started. One of my pieces was cracked, but based on the location of the part and what I needed it for it was not worth waiting for a replacement. The box already sat there two weeks before I put it together. I put it together alone. Lots of parts, but you will love the desk when it is done. Looks great in my son's bedroom!

Fabulous desk!! Everything was there with no damage to any of the pieces. It was easy to assemble (13 pieces + hardware) & the finished product is very sturdy and just beautiful looking. I was happy that the full length/width drawer has a strong composite wood base, not the typical flimsy cardboard piece used by most RTA companies. The drawer is very roomy but it is on the more shallow side and can only hold items with a maximum height of about 1.5 " - not a problem for me, but don't count on being able to store larger items. The H/W/D measurements given on Overstock are accurate and the color is a medium shade maple with some darker graining.
